What people are saying about Wellington

Thoroughly enjoyed tour with our guide Kate :)

Thoroughly enjoyed tour with our guide Kate who was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about LOTR and the Hobbit. Even though all building sets have been removed from film locations (except Rivendell), Kate was able to explain the scenes shot through use of film clips and photos. Plenty of time for photo opportunities with fun props (eg. Legolas’ cloak and bow and arrow, the ring) as were in a group of 3 in morning and 7 in afternoon.
Paid additional $28 for 40 minute WETA Workshop tour which was a little underwhelming. Enjoyed first half of tour with guide Kevin who was good but then he had to quickly go through second half as he was running behind schedule. Save your money and have a look the displays in the WETA Cave and mini museum instead.

The tour was interesting and informative

Laura, the guide, was fun and had loads of interesting tidbits of lotr filming information. We had plenty time to take pictures of locations and also got great views over wellington. Weta workshop was really interesting you get to see all the models and props up close and the guide is full of information. I loved the gift shop!!

Loved the experience. Guides were exceptional.

The day was foggy in the morning and we were in the clouds when we went up Mt. Victoria. When I was collected at midday because I was the only one to only do a half day tour your driver took me up Mt. Victoria again as the weather had cleared and the view was magnificent. My photos are nice.
